Chapter 3
Secrets and Legends
Goku with Buttercup on his back is leading Blossom, Bubbles, Butterfly and Bouquet who were riding on Nimbus. They've made it to West City.
Butterfly: Oh, WOW! Look at this city!
Blossom: It certainly does give Townsville a run for its money.
Bubbles: And look! The cars are floating!
Bouquet: I've got to say, it's amazing!
Buttercup: But how are we going to find this 'She-Professor' in a town as crazy as this?
Goku: Trust me, you can't miss her place.
Goku keeps going on the lead until he and the Girls reached a big round building with the logo 'Capsule Corp'.
Goku: Here we are!
Blossom: She lives HERE!?
Bubbles: That place is HUGE!
Buttercup: She's gotta be pretty rich to afford a home like that!
They landed at the entrance to the building.
Bouquet: (reads the sign) "Capsule Corp"?
Butterfly: Wonder what they make here?
Buttercup: (she gets off of Goku's back) I'll bet it's something really cool!
Just then, the Girls feel strange vibrations coming from inside and grow a little concerned.
Bubbles: (concerned) What was that?
Goku: Oh, uh... That would be Vegeta.
Girls: Vegeta?
Goku: An old rival of mine who I had fought and beaten years ago, but just barely.
Bubbles: (nervously) Hang on... You don't think.
Goku: Oh, it's nothing like that. He may be scary but he's on our side, but our relationship's still a liiiittle shaky.
They walked up to the door and Goku knocks three times, calling out to the owner of the building.
Goku: Yo! Bulma, I'm back from work!
The Girls cling to each other nervously as Goku turned back to them.
Goku: Huh? What's wrong? You cold or something?
Blossom: (she shook her head) N-No, of course not.
The door slowly opens and the Girls let out a shriek and hide behind the bushes.
Goku: (scratches his head) Man...
The Girls watched from behind the bushes as Bulma greets Goku at the door.
Bulma: Oh, Goku, you're back!
Goku: Hey, Bulma! How's it going?
Bulma: Oh, business as ususal. Vegeta's still shaking up the place with his training, while I'm trying to concentrate on my work. Honestly, can't that brute ever cut his wife some slack!?
Goku: (chuckled) Some things never change, huh?
As the Girls watched from the bushes, two young boys are playing tag behind them and they noticed the Girls. The Girls didn't notice the two boys behind them. Until…
Trunks: HEY, MOM!
Goten: HEY, DAD!
Girls: (they jumped with fright) AAAHHH! (they turned around and saw Goten and Trunks)
Goten: There's some funny looking girls back here!
Buttercup: (greatly offended) Funny looking!?
Goku: Oh! (nervously chuckled) Almost forgot, I brought along some company.
Bulma: Company? (she looked behind Goku and saw the Girls behind the bushes) Oh.
The Girls grinned nervously as Bulma examines them.
Buttercup: Somebody say something…
Blossom: Uh…hi.
Bulma: (she cheered up) Well, aren't you five just adorable!
Butterfly: (blushed) I-I-I...uh... I don't know about that.
Goku: (he walked besides the Girls) Bulma, I like for you to meet Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Butterfly and Bouquet.
Bulma: (she kneeled down to the Girls) Well, it's very nice to meet all of you.
Blossom: Nice to meet you too.
Goku: Oh, and Girls, I want you to meet my son, Goten…
Goten: (he waves cheerfully) Hi!
Goku: ...and Bulma's son, Trunks.
Trunks: 'Sup!
Blossom: Goten? (she came up to Goten) Aren't you the one who gave Goku his lunch today?
Goten: Oh! So Dad told you, huh?
Bubbles: Yup! It was really yummy. I wonder who cooked such wonderful food?
Goten: Oh, that would be my mom. She's a really great cook, and my Dad gives her plenty of practice.
Bouquet: No wonder it tasted so good.
Buttercup: (to Goten) Hope you don't mind me changing the subject, but your name sounds kinda familiar.
Trunks: Familiar?
Goten: What are you talking about?
Buttercup: Oh, it's probably nothing. (she crosses her arms)(thinking) I could have sworn that name sounded like that boy that beat up those thugs without breaking a sweat, but he couldn't possibly be the same boy, could he?
Blossom: Girls, aren't we forgetting why we're here?
Butterfly: Oh yeah, that's right.
Bulma looks closer at the Girls with curiousity.
Butterfly: (she brings out the orb) We've found this pretty orb and we were wondering if you know what it is.
When Bulma got closer to the orb that Butterfly's holding as it starts glowing, she immediately realized what the orb is and got surprised.
Bulma: (surprised) AH! (she pointed at the orb that Butterfly's holding) THERE IT IS! The Three-Star Dragon Ball!
Goku: (shocked) Really!?
Blossom: (confused) Dragon…Ball?
Goten and Trunks came in to see the Three-Star Dragon Ball.
Trunks: Hey, you Girls have a Dragon Ball!? NEAT!
Goten: That's awesome!
Butterfly: Excuse me, but I have a question. What IS a Dragon Ball?
Goten/Trunks: (comically fall over in exasperation)
Bulma: You mean you've never heard of them before?
The Girls looked at each other, then they turned back to Bulma and shook their heads for no.
Bulma: Well, believe it or not, these orbs have the power that will do great things, or great harm if they fall into the wrong hands.
Buttercup: Ooooh, this is gonna be good.
The Girls huddled together and pay closer attention to Bulma's explanation.
Bulma: There's seven of them in total and if you collect them, something amazing will happen.
Bouquet: Like what exactly?
Bulma: The sky will turn dark and a ray of light will pierce the heavens. That's when the Eternal Dragon will appear to grant your every wish, whatever it may be.
Bubbles: A dragon that grants wishes?
Butterfly: (she raises her hand) Excuse me, Miss. Bulma! Does this Eternal Dragon have a name?
Bulma: Yes. The name of the dragon is Shenron.
Blossom: Shenron?
Bulma: It means 'Eternal Dragon'.
Buttercup: Go figure.
Bubbles: (amazed) Amazing…
Bulma: I already have five of them, and Goku has the sixth one stashed away somewhere, but for some weird reason, the last one seemed to have vanished off the face of the Earth.
Butterfly: (she looks at the Three-Star Dragon Ball in her hands) And it's the one with three stars in it, right?
Bulma: That's exactly it!
Goku: Wow, I was starting to wonder where that one had rolled off to.
Trunks: Wherever did you find it?
Goten: Yeah! Tell us! Tell us!
Blossom: Huh? W-Well, you see, uhh…
Blossom struggles to find a way of explaining how they found it without revealing that they came from another dimension.
Blossom: (thinking) Great. What am I going to say? If I tell them we found it in our home dimension, our cover would be blown for sure.
Bulma noticed Blossom's stressing and convinced her to take it easy.
Bulma: Hey, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to.
Blossom: I don't?
Bulma: Of course not. The only thing that matters now is that the missing Dragon Ball has been found.
Blossom: (sighed with relief)
Goku: Yeah, but how can a Dragon Ball just disappear like that?
Bulma: Hmm... Good question.
A brief silence ensues as everyone starts thinking about it.
Bulma: But let's not worry about that now. It's getting pretty late.
Bubbles: (yawned) I'm getting tired already right after our long walk.
Butterfly: (grumbled) Me too.
Bouquet: Just one problem. Where are we gonna settle down for the night?
Bulma: Oh, there's plenty of room here. Please make yourselves at home!
Blossom: Really? Thanks!
The Girls entered Capsule Corp and try to find a room to sleep.
Bulma: (giggled) Aren't they just the cutest?
Goku: (he came closer to Bulma) I'm not sure, Bulma. I think they might be hiding something.
Bulma: (offended) Like WHAT, exactly?
Goku: (nervously) Err... I'm not saying they're bad or anything! (he calmed down) And I've gotta admit, they are pretty cute.
Bulma: (she cheered back up) Of course they are! In fact, they kinda remind me of you when we first met, Goku. Remember? You didn't have a clue what a Dragon Ball was.
Goku: Yeah, I remember that. Gee, it's been too long.
Bulma: (sighed) Hard to believe it's actually been that long.
Meanwhile, as the sun sets over the horizon, the Girls, now in pajamas, settled into one of the rooms in Capsule Corp and try to contact Professor Utonium. Blossom is holding the HotPhone while calling Professor Utonium. Professor Utonium answered Blossom's call and his face appears on the monitor.
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) Hi, Girls!
Blossom: Hi, Professor!
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) I can see you're all in pajamas. Are you going to toddle to bed soon?
Blossom: That's right, Professor, but before that, we've finally figured out what the orb is called!
Professor Utonium: You do?
Butterfly: Yeah! It's called a Dragon Ball!
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) A Dragon Ball, huh? Quite an interesting discovery.
Buttercup: Yeah, but if you think that's interesting, get a load of this! (she whispered to Blossom) Tell him, Blossom.
Blossom: Apparently, there's seven of them in total, and if you collect the whole set, a dragon will appear and grant whatever wish you make.
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) Seven Dragon Balls... A dragon that can grant wishes... Incredible, I should say…!
Buttercup: Oh, and by the way, we've met some folks in this world who can fly and kick butt and stuff.
Blossom: But you were right about one thing, Professor. Other folks in this dimension tend to freak out whenever they see this kind of thing.
Bouquet: Yeah. The family we saw in a mountain village was left speechless when they saw a young boy sock it to some thugs.
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) Guess that proves my theory true then.
Buttercup: (concerned) Professor...
Butterfly and Bouquet giggled over Buttercup's complaining.
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) No complaints, Buttercup. Just because some individuals can fly and fight and stuff, doesn't mean you should too. What if someone who can't saw you?
Buttercup: (she rolled her eyes) Well…
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) No powers, or you're grounded! That's all I'm gonna tell you!
Buttercup: (grumbled) Okay...
Blossom: Well, it's getting pretty late here, Professor. But we'll call you when something's up.
Professor Utonium: (through the HotPhone monitor) Alright, Blossom. Now all of you Girls should get some sleep. Good night.
Blossom: Good night, Professor. (she hangs up)
Bubbles climbed onto the bed and notices three big lumps in it. She taps one of them twice with her left foot and it moves, making her think there are boogeymen under the covers.
Butterfly: What is it, Bubbles?
Bubbles: There's something in the bed. (nervously) I think it may be some boogeymen...
Blossom: It's probably a little lumpy. You should be able to push it out.
Bubbles: Okay…
Bubbles pushes down on one of the lumps but jumps with fright when it lets out a scream.
?: AAAARRGH! GET OFF MY BACK!
Bubbles: (jumped with fright) EEEK!
Bouquet: (frightened) Alright, wh-who's there!?
The covers of the bed bursted open, revealing a small blue goblin, a young girl and a talking dog.
?: That really smarts! Who dares throw out the spine of the great Emperor Pilaf!? (he notices the Girls) And uh... who might you be?
The Girls are stunned and didn't say anything.
Mai: Um... They don't look like they're from around here, sire.
Shu: Yeah, and they look a little bushed. I think they wanna crash here for the night.
Pilaf: Oh yeah? Well they can crash SOMEWHERE ELSE! This bedroom's taken.
Buttercup: (angrily) Hey, buddy! We're here for shelter! So why don't you learn to share?
Pilaf: SHARE? What the heck does that mean!?
Shu: It means allowing someone to-
Pilaf: Oh, SHUT UP! (spine cracks) Ooo-hoo-hoo, my aching back!
Bouquet: (concerned) Oh my…
Pilaf: (recovered) If you five don't scram, I'm gonna tell the head mistress you threw my back out and then you're... OUTTA HERE!
Mai: Please calm down, sire.
Shu: Yeah, no need to go overboard.
Butterfly: Excuse me, but who's this 'headmistress' you're talking about?
Pilaf: Who do you think!? The woman you just met at the front door! (he grinned wickedly) And trust me, you do NOT want to get her steamed.
Bubbles: Well, that lady Bulma let us stay for the night.
Pilaf: (shocked) WHAT!?
Butterfly: And trust us, she's very nice.
Pilaf: But... I thought-
Shu: C'mon, sire! You gotta have a heart!
Pilaf: Oh, mind your own beeswax!
Mai: Hey, if you don't share a room with them, I'm gonna tell her and then there'll be trouble!
Pilaf: Mai!? How dare you speak to your emperor that way!
Bouquet: Hey, you heard what the girl said!
Mai: I have a name, you know. It's Mai.
Shu: Yup! And I'm Shu!
Pilaf: And I am-
Buttercup: It's Pilaf, right? We get it.
Pilaf: A-hem... Tell you what, kiddies. Because you all drive such a hard bargain, I'll let you crash here for the night, but ONLY for the night! By daybreak, you are OUT!
Butterfly: (she whispered to Blossom) That elf sure has a bad attitude.
Blossom: (whispered) I know.
Pilaf: (he came closer to Butterfly, unexpectedly) Hey, I heard that! Second of all, I'm a goblin, not an elf. You hear!?
Butterfly: (she covered her ears from Pilaf's yelling) Y-Yes.
When all of the sudden, they heard a booming voice from down the hall that shakes the building and terrifies them.
?: BE QUIET IN THERE!
The Girls, Pilaf, Shu and Mai looked at each other in nervousness.
Pilaf: (nervously giggled) Let's... talk about it in the morning. Nighty-night, kiddies.
Buttercup: (nervously) Yeah, g-g-good idea…
Blossom: Good night…
They all go nervously to sleep, while down the hall, an intimidating shadow hears the argument subsided and returns to his room.
?: Hmph. Much better.
Outside the Capsule Corp building, the Powerpuff Girls' dark counterparts, the Black Puff Girls are in midair, watching our heroes getting some sleep.
Bubbles Black: Just look at them. They're getting their Zs.
Buttercup Black: (chuckled) Isn't that cute? Bleach.
Blossom Black: Well, they'd better enjoy it while it lasts, because they'll be in for a rude awakening when we show up to put them in their place.
Butterfly Black: Glad to hear that, Blossom Black.
Bouquet Black: Me too.
Blossom Black smirked at Butterfly Black and Bouquet Black until they heard a loud beep.
Bubbles Black: (gasped) It must be him.
Blossom Black answers and an ominous voice comes out of her communicator.
?: (through the communicator) My children, what have you to report?
Blossom Black: Our imposters have followed us here, and settled into the Capsule Corp building.
?: (through the communicator) Excellent. Return to Brimstrom in the 8th Universe for now. We must make final preparations for our invasion of the 7th.
Blossom Black: Yes, master. (she hangs up her communicator)
Butterfly Black: So what's the plan, Blossom Black?
Bouquet Black: Yeah. Give us the scoop.
Blossom Black: Well, this may be a low-ranking Universe, but the warriors of this planet look pretty tough. It would be reckless to fight our imposters under their protection, so we'll wait in the shadows until those fakers are at their most vulnerable, then we'll strike at their hearts.
Butterfly Black/Bouquet Black: (giggled evilly)
Buttercup Black: I like that plan, sister.
Blossom Black: Now let's head back to Universe 8 for now. The master is waiting for us. (she and the other Black Puff Girls vanished)
The scene immediately transitions to morning as the sun breaks over West City.
The sun shines on Blossom's eyes.
Blossom: (groaned and slowly opened her eyes)
Blossom yawned and stretches her limbs out and the other Girls wake up as well, all blissed out after such a relaxing sleep.
Buttercup: (yawned) Man, that feels good…
Butterfly: Yeah... I slept like a baby.
Bubbles: (waking up) I think it's wonderful to have a place to stay for the night.
Bouquet: Yeah, so do I.
Blossom: I kind of feel like floating here.
Buttercup: Yeah, me too…
Suddenly, Blossom and Buttercup looked down and realized they ARE floating.
Blossom: Gasp! (whispered) Oops.
Blossom and Buttercup dropped back down and wonder if Pilaf, Shu and Mai saw that, but they are still sleeping.
Blossom: Phew. They're still sleeping.
Buttercup: Way to almost blow our cover, leader.
Blossom: (whispered) Hey, I was feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I didn't even notice.
The Girls only assumed their cover was almost blown until Goku finds out from the bedroom door.
Goku: Ah-HA!
Blossom: (gasped)
Butterfly: (nervously) Blossom, you don't think that could be…
The Girls turned around and there they saw Goku looking so stunned for what he saw.
Blossom: (shocked) Goku!
Goku: (stunned) I KNEW you girls were hiding something!
Blossom: (nervously) I-I-I uh... We thank you for letting us stay for the night. Bye-bye! (she and the Girls dashed off)
Goku: Hey, wait! (he chased after the Girls) Don't go!
Pilaf, Shu and Mai woke up from their sleep.
Mai: (waking up) What's going on?
The Girls ran down the hall as their cover was blown by Goku.
Blossom: Boy, I really blew it this time!
Buttercup: You just had to feel funny all over, didn't ya!?
Blossom: Hey! That bed was so cozy!
Bubbles: And now he knows we've got powers!
Butterfly: We are in BIG trouble!
Bouquet: The Professor is gonna be SO mad at us!
The Girls failed to notice a tall shadowy figure standing in front of them and run into it.
Girls: OOOF! (they fell on their butts)
Buttercup: (she groaned and rubs her butt) Man! Where'd that come from!?
The figure turns and shouts at the Girls and they instantly recognized his booming voice.
?: Watch where you're going!
Blossom: Sorry! (she and the Girls continued running)
The man continues watching the Girls running down the hall until he notices Goku approaching him.
?: Friends of yours, Kakarot?
Goku: Sort of. Oh! Talk later, Vegeta! (he continued chasing the Girls)
Vegeta: (he watches Goku following the Girls) Hmph. Where does Kakarot find all these idiotic friends of his anyway?
The Girls kept running through the hall until the exit comes into view.
Blossom: There's the exit, Girls! We're almost safe!
Suddenly, Goku instantly appeared in front of the exit, blocking their way out.
Goku: GOTCHA!
Girls: Aah! (they fell on their butts once again)
Buttercup: Busted.
Bubbles: What will we do now?
Bouquet: There's no way out!
Butterfly: We're goners!
Blossom: Stay calm, Girls! There has to be a way out of this.
The Girls hauled together and closed their eyes, not bearing to look but Goku just stares at them and tilts his head in curiosity.
Goku: (curiously) Um... What are you guys doing?
The Girls opened their eyes and noticed Goku looking at them strangely.
Girls: (confused) Huh?
Butterfly: Great! Now he's looking at us all funny!
Bouquet: O...kay? Now what?
Buttercup: (sighed) Admit it guys. The jig is up.
Goku: The jig? What the heck's a jig?
Realizing they're out of options, the Girls started floating and they confessed their secret powers to Goku. Goku is stunned when the Girls are floating in front of him, but his expression turned to a surprised look.
Goku: (surprised) Wow! Why didn't you Girls tell me you could already fly?
Bubbles: (sighed) Here's the thing. We've been trying to hide our powers from normal people in this world.
Bouquet: Yeah. Because we were told that if anyone caught us using them, why...
Butterfly: They'd freak out and be all up in arms and stuff.
Goku: You kids sure are full of surprises.
Buttercup: There's something else.
Goku: Yeah?
Blossom: Well, we can do more than just flying.
Blossom looked side to side where no one is nearby.
Blossom: It might be best if we go outside.
Goku: Sure.
Butterfly: Um... But first, don't you think we should get changed out of our jammies?
Blossom: (she looked down at her pajamas) Oh yeah. (embarrassedly giggled) Just give us a minute.
The Girls fly back to their room to get changed. Not far away from them, Goten and Trunks were walking down the hall when they saw the Girls flying past them.
Goten: (amazed) Whoa...! Trunks, did you see that?
Trunks: (amazed) Yeah, I saw it. So those Girls can fly, huh?
The boys suddenly caught the Girls flying in the opposite direction, now in their trademark attire.
Goten: There they go again!
The Girls meet up with Goku back at the front door after getting changed.
Blossom: Okay, we're ready, Goku!
Goku: Wow, that was fast.
Blossom: Now, come with us and we'll tell you everything.
The Girls took Goku outside of Capsule Corp and they begin their talk to him. The Pilaf Gang is seen walking down the hall, only just missing the Girls flying around. Pilaf started boasting about his new plan, much to Shu and Mai questioning it.
Pilaf: (snickered wickedly) This is brilliant! I'm actually glad those girls slept in our room! Mai: Well, he's in a bright and shiny mood all of a sudden.
Shu: Begging your pardon, sire, but how's that a good thing?
Pilaf: Because I was able to get... (he presents a vial with a strain of ginger hair inside) THIS!
Shu: A hair?
Pilaf: No, it's a thread of cotton. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU NINCONPOOP!? (he presents several more vials with the Girls' hairs in them) While those girls were skipping and playing around in dreamland, I was able to pluck a few strands of their DNA for examination.
Mai: Then why am I seeing six?
Pilaf: Oh. I also picked one of yours, Mai for comparison's sake.
Mai: (disgruntled grumbled)
Shu: But sire, why would you experiment on some kiddy hair? Isn't that a little…
Pilaf: HELLO!? EARTH TO EINSTEIN! Those weren't normal girls sleeping with us! I could tell just by looking at them.
Mai and Shu looked at Pilaf in confusion.
Mai/Shu: (confused) Huh?
Pilaf: As soon as I conduct some experiments on their hair, I'm going to figure out their secrets and maybe even find a way to reclaim my throne!
Outside of Capsule Corp, the Girls are talking with Goku about themselves. Goku becomes surprised over what they just told him.
Goku: (surprised) No way! So you Girls are from another dimension!?
The Girls nodded their heads for yes.
Goku: You sure you're not from Other World or something? Because that kinda counts as 'another dimension'.
Blossom: (confused) Other World?
Goku: It's where people go when they... you know... (whispered) kick the bucket.
Blossom: Oh, no it's nothing like that. The dimension in question is so far away from this one.
Butterfly: Yeah. We come from a place in our world called... The City of Townsville.
Goku: Townsville?
Bubbles: Yup! Home to The Mayor, Miss Bellum, Ms Keane, the Professor…
Buttercup: And a whole lot of bad guys like Mojo Jojo who are out to take over the world on a daily basis.
Goku: Whoa. Guess it's your job to stop them, huh?
Bouquet: That's right. and the Professor we mentioned earlier? He's the one who created us, with sugar, spice and everything nice, with an accidental hint of Chemical X, which kind of makes him our dad.
Blossom: He's also the one who made us promise to keep our powers hidden from the people in this dimension, otherwise he'll have us grounded.
Goku: Oooohhhh... I figured there was something different about you, Girls.
Blossom: And that's why we were hiding our powers, because we were trying to keep the Professor's word.
Goku: Wow, this Professor guy sounds pretty strict.
Buttercup: (she crossed her arms) Tell me about it.
Goku: Just what are you Girls anyway?
Blossom stands in front of Goku with determination.
Blossom: Together we've dedicated our lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil! Together we are…
Girls: ...THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!
Goku: The Powerpuff Girls? (thinking) And I thought the Ginyu Force was the only team I know back on Planet Namek.
Not too far away from our heroes, Goten and Trunks were watching from behind the door as they overheard the conversation.
Trunks: The Powerpuff Girls? And they're from another dimension? Wow! I didn't see that coming.
Goten: Me neither. (he brightens up) But this is so cool!
A brief moment of silence falls between Goku and the Girls after their reintroduction.
Blossom: So, uh... W... What do you think?
Buttercup: Yeah. Was that awesome or what?
Goku: That was... pretty impressive.
Girls: Thanks!
Goku: But there's something else I've been wondering. Since you Girls came from another dimension, how'd you all get here anyway?
Butterfly: We got here in the Demi-Rocket. A kind of rocket that can travel between dimensions.
Bouquet: But it sank beneath the ocean due to a pilot error. (she looked at Buttercup)
Butterfly: (somberly) Yeah.
Buttercup: (groaned and crossed her arms)
Blossom: The reason why we came here is to return the Dragon Ball back to where it belongs.
Goku: Huh. (he scratched his head) That explains a lot.
Blossom: What worries me is, what are we gonna do if everyone finds out about our powers?
The other Girls got concerned for what Blossom said to them.
Goku: Don't you worry, I'll keep your powers a secret.
The Girls turned to Goku with their surprised look on their faces.
Bubbles: Really?
Bouquet: You will?
Goku: Sure! And even if everyone finds out, Hercule will tell them it's all special effects and wires or something. Simple.
Blossom: Who's Hercule?
Goku: The self-proclaimed World Martial Arts Champion, aaaaaand a bit of a blowhard.
Blossom: I see.
Buttercup: A bit like Major Glory, huh?
Goku: Say, I was wondering something too, can you show me those powers of yours? I really want to know more about them.
Blossom: Okay, but first... (she looks around the backyard) Hmmm... We're going to need something to test them on.
Buttercup: Yeah. (she looks around) Hmmm... Let's see.
Buttercup kept looking around the backyard until she sees a pile of junk nearby.
Buttercup: Ah-ha! Bet that junkpile would suffice!
Blossom: Hold on, Buttercup. We don't know if Bulma would be alright with this or not.
Goku: (he scratches his chin) Well, come to think of it, she DID tell me that stuff was all 'rejects', whatever the heck that means.
Buttercup: PERFECT! Now, check this out! (she leaped forward and uses her laser vision)
Buttercup's laser vision causes the plane at the top to overheat to the point of turning into molten slag.
Goku: (amazed) Wow! Laser eye beams!? That's kind of surprising!
Blossom: We called it laser vision, Goku. Me and my sisters have that same power, but we have unique ones too.
Goku: Unique?
Bubbles: SI!
Blossom: For example…
Blossom inhales deeply and uses her ice breath to cool the slag down instantly.
Goku: Whoa, that's cold!
Blossom: Mine is ice breath, my specialty.
Bubbles: Here's mine! But you might want to cover your ears.
Goku: Okay... (he covered his ears)
Bubbles lets out a supersonic scream loud enough to break the frozen slag apart.
Goku: (he uncovered his ears) MAN, that's loud! Like some kind of... a megaphone!
Butterfly: (eagerly) Oh, oh! My turn! My turn!
Butterfly uses her telekinesis to make the objects floated in the air and orbiting around her.
Butterfly: (giggled) See? I can move things around with my mind, through the raw power of telekinesis.
Goku: Cool!
Goten and Trunks were still watching from behind the door as they were amazed by the scene.
Goten/Trunks: (amazed) Whoa...!
Goku: (he turns to Buttercup) What about you, Buttercup?
Buttercup: (she confidently floats forward) Oh, that's a cinch. Get a load of this!
Buttercup spits into her hands and rapidly rubs them together until they burst into flame.
Buttercup: Get ready my spitfire throw! (she turned to Butterfly) Butterfly!
Butterfly: Okay, Buttercup! I'm ready for ya!
Buttercup: PULL!
Butterfly launches the frozen slag into the air and Buttercup unleashes a barrage of fire that smashes every last fragment.
Buttercup: (chuckled confidently) Perfect score. (she blew on her smoking right fist)
Trunks: (amazed) Whoa…
Goku: (amazed) Great aim, Buttercup! You annihilated every last one!
Buttercup: Eh... I try.
Bouquet: Um... Is it alright if I show you my power now?
Goku: Go right ahead, Bouquet.
Bouquet: Okay, but promise me one thing.
Goku: O...kay? Promise what?
Bouquet: That you won't laugh.
Goku: Don't worry. I won't.
Bouquet: Okay... Here goes…
Bouquet started spinning around at rapid speed and turns herself into a small cat like creature.
Bouquet: Nyan-nyan! I'm a cat now!
Goku: A cat?
Bouquet: Me-yup, but that's not all I can turn into. (she spins again)
Bouquet turns into a horse, lets out a neigh and trots in a circle, then turns into a cougar and lets out a yowl and pretended to pounce some nearby butterflies.
Bouquet: (she turns back to Goku) See? I can do animal shape-shifting. (she turns back to normal) But I'll need to think of an animal that I should turn into.
Goku: Hey! You kinda remind me of Puar!
Bouquet: (confused) Who?
Goku: Puar. A shape-shifter like you.
Bouquet: Umm... Why don't I show you what else I can turn into?
Goku: (slowly nods) Uhhh... huh?
Bouquet: Say I want to be... (she tries to think of another animal) A BEAR! Then I just picture it in my head and... (she transforms into a bear) RAWR! I'm a bear now!
Bouquet fails to realize that Goku is drooling.
Bouquet: Uhhhh... Goku? Why are you looking at me like that? (she became nervous) A-And why are you drooling?
Goku: You look real tasty!
Bouquet: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! (she runs off)
Goku started comically chasing Bouquet all over the backyard as her sisters watched.
Bubbles: Should we help her?
Blossom: YES! (she and the other Girls flew to Goku and holds him back) Goku, no! Bouquet's not for breakfast!
Butterfly: Is he under a trance or something!?
Buttercup: I can fix that! (she flew in front of Goku and slaps him silly in the face) Goku, wake up! WAKE... UP!
Goku: (he's still in a trance, slobbering) C'mon, you guys... I could really go for some bear claw... Just one little bite!
Bouquet: Goku, it's me, Bouquet! I'm not an entrée! (she changes back) See!?
Goku snaps out of his hunger frenzy and has no recollection of chasing Bouquet, much to the Girls' shock.
Goku: Er... What the- HUH!? What was I doing just now? Must've blacked out for a second. (nervously laughed) Guess my imagination must've gone wild again!
Bouquet: It sure did! You were trying to eat me after I turned into a bear!
Buttercup: (snorts, trying to contain her laughter)
Goku: (frantically) I'm so sorry! I thought I saw a real bear and it looked delicious! (nervously laughed) Guess my mind really DID get the better of me.
Buttercup: It sure did! (she bursted out laughing)
Goten: WOW!
Girls: (gasped)
Bubbles: (concerned) Oh no...
The Girls turned around and saw Goten and Trunks watching in amazement.
Trunks: (he came up to the Girls) You Girls are so cool!
Goten: Yeah! Where'd you get all of these amazing powers?
The Girls didn't know what to say when Goten and Trunks finds out about their secret, not only Goku.
Blossom: (nervously) Well, I... Uhh...
Goten: (giggled) Kinda bashful, aren't they?
Trunks: Goten, didn't you hear what they said? They think we're norms!
Buttercup: Norms?
Bouquet: What are you trying to say?
Goten: Because you're not the only ones.
The two boys started floating by themselves, revealing that they have powers too.
Goten: See?
Buttercup: Wh-What!? You too!?
Goten: Yeah, we can fly just like you.
Trunks: Well, my mom can't, but at least she's okay with this sort of thing.
Butterfly: Y-You think our powers are cool?
Goten: Yeah, we do!
Bubbles: But Bulma didn't know that we've got superpowers.
Bouquet: So it might be best not tell her about it.
Trunks: Oh, I'm sure she'd be okay with you Girls either way. Believe me, my mom seen a whole lot of weird stuff in her lifetime. Or... at least that's what she told me.
Blossom: So... she won't freak out if she discovers we've got powers?
Trunks: Of course not.
Buttercup: (sighed in relief) Oh, good…
While Goten and Trunks talked with the Girls, Vegeta secretly watches from a nearby rock in the garden. The conversation between Goten, Trunks and the Girls is rudely interrupted when they hear Vegeta laughing at Goku's hunger shenanigans.
Vegeta: (mocking laughter) Typical Kakarot, always having a stomach for a brain!
Goku: (he turned to Vegeta, embarrassed) Oh, you saw that, huh?
Bubbles: (scared) Wh-Who is that...?
Trunks: Oh, that would be my dad.
Bouquet: And let me guess, that's Vegeta. (she turned to Goku) Isn't he, Goku?
Goku: Yup, that's him.
Buttercup: And who's this Kakarot guy?
Goku: Uhh... That... would be me. Kakarot's my Saiyan name.
Blossom: Saiyan?
Vegeta: (scoffs) You're not the only outsiders in this world. Kakarot and I came from another planet.
Butterfly: Say... (shocked) ...WHAT!?
The Girls' minds are utterly blown over what Vegeta just said.
Blossom: (she turned to Goku) Goku, you never told use you were some kind of alien!
Goku: Uhhh…
Vegeta: HMPH! That coming from a bunch of bug-eyed children from another dimension!
Blossom: (gasped in shock) H-How'd you know!?
Vegeta: (chuckled) I overheard everything! This city of... 'Townsville', you being a family with that quack and I even had the displeasure of seeing that childish display.
Blossom: (she looked at her sisters in concern, then sighed) Good hearing...
Bubbles: I think he just called the Professor a quack...
Buttercup: (angrily) And what was that he said about a childish display!?
Vegeta: I was referring to those cheap magic tricks that you just performed.
The Girls are greatly offended by Vegeta's insulting about them.
Vegeta: And if I'm not mistaken, the people back home referred to you as... 'The Powerpuff Girls', right? What an insufferable name.
Trunks: Dad, that's not very nice!
Hearing Vegeta's insulting comment sets Buttercup over the edge as she tries to nail Vegeta, but Trunks stops her.
Buttercup: (growled) THAT DOES IT! LET ME AT HIM! LET ME AT HIM!
Trunks: Hey, don't mind my dad. He's always like that.
Buttercup: But he called our powers cheap magic tricks! I'd like to see him do better!
Vegeta: (he gets angry) So it's proof you want!?
Buttercup: Yeah! Show us what you've got!
Bouquet: (worried) I smell a fight.
Trunks: Hoo-boy…
Vegeta: Alright... (he grabs the boulder) Watch... THIS!
Vegeta flings the boulder high up into the air and charges a powerful energy attack in his hands, while the Girls watched in horror.
Vegeta: GALICK GUUUUUN!
Vegeta's Galick Gun is heading straight for the boulder as it got hit and breaks into a millions of pieces. Buttercup got stunned by this scene. The blast can be seen from all over West City as it lights up the sky and shakes the ground. As soon as the blast settles, Vegeta turned back to the Girls with a smug grin on his face.
Vegeta: Any further objections?
Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup and Butterfly immediately flew behind Goku, quivering in fear. But Bouquet stands there in shock until she fainted.
Vegeta: Hmph! That's what I thought! Without proper training, you bug-eyed fairies are barely even worth squashing.
Buttercup angrily glared at Vegeta with hatred while Goten tries to wake Bouquet up.
Goten: Come on, Bouquet. (he shook Bouquet) Wake up!
Bouquet: (waking up) Boy, I don't like him that much…
Buttercup: Me neither! (she cracked her knuckles) I'll show him!
Blossom: Buttercup, let it go.
Butterfly: Yeah, you'd probably just get pulverized by Vegeta just now.
Buttercup: (she crosses her arms) Yeah, right…
Bubbles: (frightened) And I thought HIM was scary...
Goten: (he helped Bouquet up on her feet) There you go.
Bouquet: That guy's really mean.
Goten: He... does have a point though.
Bouquet: (confused) Huh?
Blossom: What are you saying, Goten?
Goten: Well, since you're here, we might as well get some training done!
Goku: Hey! Great idea, Goten!
Bubbles: Training for what?
Goten: Oh, uh... (he nervously giggled) Just for kicks. Nothing all that serious. (he turned to Goku and Trunks) Right, Dad? Trunks?
Goku: (eagerly) Absolutely!
Trunks: (eagerly) Totally!
Goku: And I know just the place where we can get started.
Buttercup: Like where exactly?
Goku: At Master Roshi's place.
Bouquet: Master Roshi?
Goku: He lives on a small island that's pretty far from here, but I can get you guys there in a flash.
Girls: (confused) Huh?
Goku grabbed the Girls in his right arm.
Girls: HEY!
Buttercup: (she's being held in Goku's grip) Watch your grip...!
Goku: (he turned to Goten and Trunks) You coming, boys?
Goten/Trunks: Sure! (they hold on to Goku)
Goku: (he turned to Vegeta) What about you, Vegeta?
Vegeta: No thanks, Kakarot. I'd rather take the long way around.
Goku: If you say so.
Bubbles: (sighed of relief) Phew…
Buttercup: (she pulls grimace at Vegeta) NYAH!
Goku: Okay, here we go!
Goku immediately vanishes, taking the Girls, Goten and Trunks with him as Vegeta grumbles to himself again.
Vegeta: Seriously, where does Kakarot come off making friends with these characters?
Vegeta then looks up to the sky and sees Piccolo coming in from high above.
Vegeta: This had better be important.
Meanwhile in the Capsule Corp garage, Pilaf hooks Bubbles' hair up to a device that he had just recently created.
Pilaf: Perfect!
Shu and Mai look at each other with concern.
Pilaf: As soon as I send an electrical current through this strain of hair, We'll finally get the results we've been looking for and then we'll have whatever power those girls possess, in our hands!
Mai: You sure you know what you're doing, sire?
Shu: And why are you starting with the blondie?
Pilaf: Because blond hair is a decent start for some experience! Now, let's get this over with!
Shu and Mai cling to each other in fear as Pilaf gets started with his experiment.
Pilaf: Now, I'll just connect these two electrodes here and there and...
Pilaf connects the two electrodes to the device and an electrical charge is sent through Bubbles' hair, which creates an ear-splitting soundwave that shatters all the glass in the garage. Pilaf, Shu and Mai covered their ears from an ear-splitting soundwave until it dies down. The Pilaf Gang uncovered their ears.
Shu: Boy, that was the loudest noise I've ever heard.
Mai: (uncomfortable) It was too loud like we're in a concert. I don't think I want to hear that ever again...
Pilaf is left in stunned silence then starts to laugh maniacally.
Pilaf: I knew it... I KNEW IT!
Shu: What is it, sire?
Mai: Yeah, tell us!
Pilaf doesn't hear Shu or Mai and continues laughing maniacally.
Pilaf: Ha! Ha! Ha! I've just figured out that these little girls are no ordinary little girls at all!
Mai: (she whispered to Shu) He's only just figuring that out now?
Shu: Hey, an experiment has to be repeatable to be valid.
Pilaf: BRILLIANT! To say my scheme is a hair-brained one would be a serious understatement! With the power in these hairs at my disposal, I'll finally claim my rightful place on top of the world!
Shu and Mai stared at Pilaf with unimpressed looks.
Pilaf: Well, don't just stare at me like that, you lunkheads! BRING ME THOSE HAIRS!
Shu/Mai: Yes, sire!
Shu and Mai left to get the Girls' hairs as Pilaf smiled wickedly.
Pilaf: Heh, heh, heh. All according to plan.
The scene cuts to a zooming out view of the Capsule Corp building as Pilaf's hysterical laughter is heard in the background.
